Atrial Natriuretic Factor [PDF]
ANF is an exciting, newly discovered hormone that has significant potential for furthering our understanding of the complex interactions involved in fluid and electrolyte balance. In addition to effects on water and salt balance, it is a potent vasodilator, as well as inhibitor of renin, angiotensin II, aldosterone, and vasopressin.

Atrial natriuretic factor. [PDF]
A short and up-to-date review on the great advances made in the field of the atrial natriuretic factor (ANF) is presented. All the short active peptides (up to 33 AA) isolated after purification of atrial homogenates have the same core of 23 amino acids (Ser 103-ARG 125).

Plasma Biomarkers Associated With Heart Failure Hospitalization Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation and Subtypes of Heart Failure [PDF]
Background Atrial fibrillation is associated with heart failure (HF) through a complex cause‐and‐effect relationship. We performed multiplex screening of plasma proteins in patients with atrial fibrillation to identify biomarkers and pathways associated ...

Atrial Natriuretic Peptide31–67: A Novel Therapeutic Factor for Cardiovascular Diseases
The characterization of the cardiac hormone atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP99–126), synthesized and secreted predominantly by atrial myocytes under stimulation by mechanical stretch, has established the heart as an endocrine organ with potent natriuretic,

Irisin attenuates angiotensin II-induced atrial fibrillation and atrial fibrosis via LOXL2 and TGFβ1/Smad2/3 signaling pathways [PDF]
Objective(s): Irisin was reported as a cardioprotective and anti-oxidative effector, while the effect on atrial fibrosis is unknown. The current research examined irisin’s function in atrial fibrillation (AF); atrial fibrosis brought on by Ang II can be ...

Effects of Glibornuride on Plasma Atrial Natriuretic Factor Levels in Patients with Non-Insulin
Diabetic nephropathy is a common micro vascular complication of diabetes mellitus. Elevated plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels have been suggested as being one of the factors that contribute to the risk of developing diabetic nephropathy by ...
